Pinhole
A series of experimentations using a pinhole camera. It is interesting in just how effective the prints turn out, without any digital process, but just a matter of light exposure. Photos taken by the matter of a tiny whole, the photographic paper, placed, embedded in dark card within the box, takes in the light through a tiny hole, creating beautifully effective images, that it makes everything seem interesting. The more light exposed to the photographic paper, depending on the weather, lighting the picture becomes more apparent. I am more appreciative of pinhole photography, of how one image is formed through a tiny hole of a box. I feel that the photos are beautiful, holding unique character, because you do not know how they might turn out. I feel that they have a ghostly and old time feel, because they are limited in colour, shown in a negative, so they suddenly become unique and interesting.
